Limit -signature functions of two-variable binomial hypersurfaces

arXiv:2504.18656 · doi:10.1017/nmj.2025.10094

Abstract

The -signature is a fundamental numerical invariant of singularities in positive characteristic. Its positivity detects strong -regularity, an important class of singularities related to KLT singularities in characteristic zero. In this paper, we compute the limiting -signature function of binomial and other related hypersurfaces in two variables as the characteristic . In particular, we show it is a piecewise polynomial function, and relate it to the normalized volume.
